Two months before the first total solar eclipse to cross the continental United States in a century, NASA on Wednesday is expected to detail its plans to study and promote a celestial show that will darken skies from Oregon to South Carolina.

During the Aug. 21 eclipse, the moon will pass between the sun and Earth, blocking the face of the sun and leaving only its outer atmosphere, or corona, visible in the sky.

The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration will discuss several solar physics and Earth science experiments to be conducted during the eclipse in a news conference on Wednesday afternoon. The agency also plans live broadcasts during the eclipse from dozens of locations along the path.

e noted that even a 99 percent eclipse will not reveal the sun's corona. And during a total eclipse, the temperature drops and the horizon is ringed by the colors of sunset.

"The sky gets deep twilight blue and bright stars and planets come out," Fienberg said. "Animals and birds behave strangely, like it's the end of the day."

More than 12 million Americans live in the path of the full eclipse, said astronomer Angela Speck, who heads the society's eclipse public outreach campaign.

The entire U.S. population, except for northern Maine, lives within 900 miles of the full eclipse's path.

CBS Local — Americans across the U.S. will see the country’s first coast-to-coast solar eclipse in 99 years. While millions of people get ready to watch the Aug. 21 eclipse, local authorities are the treating the event more like a natural disaster and are preparing for the worst.

The disaster prep work stems from the massive tourist attraction the solar eclipse has become. The eclipse’s path of totality, where the moon will almost completely block the sun, covers a 70-mile-wide lane that will cut across 12 states from Oregon to South Carolina. There are an estimated 12 million people in the eclipse’s path.

According to greatamericaneclipse.com, another 1.8 to 7.4-million people will travel into the path on Aug. 21. Several small towns and less populated states are preparing to see their populations double or even triple in the week leading up to the solar event.

In a world of worst-case scenarios, this is but one illustration of the type of trouble that could play out in Oregon as a historic eclipse traverses the nation Aug. 21.

Officials compiled a 12-page risk assessment for the eclipse, which The Oregonian/OregonLive obtained through a public records request. The bare-bones review of various problems that could arise "is not based on any known risks at this time," the document says. Local jurisdictions are responsible for developing their own hazard assessments.

On August 21st, approximately 25,000 U.S. troops will join “tens of thousands” from the South Korean military to conduct a “major military exercise” that is already triggering threats from North Korea. Considering the fact that any sort of provocation could cause a nuclear war to erupt on the Korean peninsula, is this really a wise thing to do? The more research that I do on this upcoming solar eclipse, the stranger things become. When I first started hearing about this eclipse many months ago, I didn’t pay too much attention, but now after looking into it extensively I do believe that it is going to be quite significant.

And I didn’t even know about this major military exercise that will happen during the eclipse until today. The following comes from MSN…

The U.S. military is preparing to launch a major military exercise with South Korea in coming days, and faces a dangerous balancing act: How do you reassure allies in the region that you are ready for a war with North Korea without provoking an actual conflict in the process?

The annual Ulchi-Freedom Guardian exercise is scheduled for 10 days beginning Aug. 21, and will include about 25,000 U.S. troops along with tens of thousands of South Koreans. The exercise focuses on defending South Korea against an attack from the north, and each year triggers threats and rebukes from North Korea.

On August 21, a total solar eclipse will mark a trail from the Northwest US to the Southeast Atlantic Seaboard. The eclipse will occur on the last day of the Hebrew month Av, a day known as Yom Kippur Katan, the “small day of repentance.” The morning after the eclipse, Jews will begin blowing the shofar every morning for a 40-day period of profound repentance leading up to Yom Kippur. This corresponds to the 40 days Moses was on Mount Sinai atoning for the Jewish people.

Seven years after the eclipse on August 21st, another one will cross our nation in 2024. Together, the paths of those two eclipses will mark a giant “X” directly over the middle part of the country. And amazingly, the combined time of the totality of those two eclipses will be seven minutes.

August 23 – A FEMA exercise known as “EarthEX2017” will simulate “catastrophes such as mega earthquakes, cyber terrorism or high altitude electromagnetic pulse attacks”…

An exercise sponsored by FEMA and the U.S. Department of Energy set to take place on August 23 called EarthEX2017 will wargame responses to catastrophes such as mega earthquakes, cyber terrorism or high altitude electromagnetic pulse attacks. The exercise will simulate a “subcontinent-scale, long duration power outage, with cascading failures of all other infrastructures,” according to the official Earth Ex website.

“Black sky events” are defined as, “Catastrophic occurrences caused by man or nature that bring society to its knees.”

Max.

Knowing about that U.S. the military exercise that amazingly was held to exactly coincide with the 9-11 Twin Towers incidents back on Sept. 11, 2011 makes one very uncomfortable.

During the much-anticipated solar eclipse on Monday, NASA in collaboration with Montana State University, is launching giant balloons filled with bacteria into the stratosphere.And it's not because NASA is just super excited about the solar eclipse. This endeavor is part of the Eclipse Ballooning Project, which will help researchers prepare for a Mars trip.

While most of these tiny forms of life that exist in abundance around us won't survive the trip through space, it's understood that some resilient types could ‘go dormant' on the trip and then survive on the surface of the other planet. Therefore, in order to be prepared to keep planets we visit absolutely pristine, it's important to understand how bacteria might behave there.”

Those "balloons" may be multi-purpose, one being that photographs taken by the common folk during the eclipse can be discredited with the response, "you've just photographed a balloon released by NASA, so stop claiming it's an object in the PX system!

This morning, the day before our total eclipse, it was sunny in morning, and began to cloud slightly by late morning, and at almost 1 PM was threatening rain, and had completely clouded over, including some fake looking clouds, including a mix of clouds that looked different from each other, as if they did not belong together.

By 1 PM it was cloudy and rain had begun, which continued until 2:34 PM. My own question is, is this a rehearsal for tomorrow? After all the total eclipse is scheduled to travel across Missouri from about 1:04 PM through about 1:20 PM, a time interval which neatly fit into today's rainstorm, complete with thunder and lightening.

So hubby and I had to ask the question, was today's short storm a practice run, so that tomorrow at the very same time, the chemtrail sprayers can again orchestrate the rain and clouds, which miraculously clear off within an hour or so. I suppose we will have to wait and see.

The mis-matched clouds would have made an interesting photo! You're probably right.

There is an interesting video on Youtube in which a fellow alerts people not to use the eclipse glasses that have been commonly for sale in the marketplace, because they will filter out the Px system. Maybe another PTB obfuscation strategy...

Getting initial eclipse images. Nothing definitive yet. A lot of images will be posted in the next few days so things are still up in the air. However, my guess is that the eclipse will be a bust on PX. Problem is the time of day. If the eclipse happened close to sunrise or sunset, that would make a difference.

Hi Marshall, I just emailed you, before I saw your post.Some interesting pics posted in the Topic: TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE, August 21, 2017.I took some videos will take a closer look tomorrow if anything will send to you...
